A man jumped or fell from a window in a Near North neighborhood hotel and died this morning in an apparent suicide, police said.

Police were called to the hotel just east of State Street on Ohio Street about 6 a.m. to check the well-being of a man threatening to jump from the hotel, said Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Robert Perez.

The man, believed to be about 35 years old, subsequently went out an 8th floor window and fell to the ground, Perez said. The man was dead on the scene.
